Ensuring the government keeps up as the world goes digital

Citability.org and the dcodeathon.com are compatible League of
Technical voters project aimed at improving government accessibility
and accountability. We want to ensure all online information is readily
available and easily referenced. By using advanced permalinks as
citations, users can point to specific parts of government documents.
Permalinks allow for stable, long-term reference points to documents,
prohibiting deletion of important information, and allowing for a
better flow of information online.

Our goal is to create open source tools to allow any government
entity to easily become citable on the internet. But to do that, we'll
need your help!

At our Codeathon, you'll write and develop the tools necessary to
bring this project to fruition, and then have the opportunity to
showcase those tools to government members.

What is a codeathon?

It is a weekend long event where we work together to create and
finish open source projects to solve a problem. It's free! And food,
drinks and entertainment will be provided.

How does this work?

1) We recruit programmers from various platforms to create a citation tool in their framework

2) We work together to make sure our tools are interoperable with other platforms

3) We gather for a weekend to finish up and showcase our projects

All projects must be open source, universal and for a non-profit organization. For more information, check out

We strongly encourage participants to visit our online wiki at http://dccodeathon.pbworks.com/Project ahead of time, choose a project and start designing. When it's Codeathon weekend, we'll only have time left for coding!

Sunday, April 11th - 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. - Show off a little! We'll have
opportunities for you to demonstrate your project in front of top govt agencies and we'll record the
demonstrations and post them online.
